BAOFENG UV-5G (UV-5X) GMRS Radio for Adults, 2 Pack

As a GMRS radio, the UV-5G requires a license from the FCC to operate. This license, however, requires no testing - simply fill out the application and pay the fee. When used with a GMRS repeater, the UV-5G's talking range is greatly increased, making it a powerful long-range walkie-talkie.

The UV-5G is the GMRS version of the classic UV-5R series, featuring all the familiar functions but transmitting only on GMRS channels. It is an FCC-certified model (FCC ID: 2AN62-UV5G) that can receive on the UV band but cannot transmit, meeting FCC requirements.

Compared to FRS radios, the UV-5G offers several advantages. As a GMRS radio, it can take advantage of GMRS repeaters to extend its range, something not possible with FRS. It also uses wide-band FM for louder, clearer audio than the narrow-band FM of FRS. Additionally, the UV-5G provides more selectable channels, CTCSS, and DCS tone options to reduce unwanted signals.

Compatible with a wide range of accessories from the UV-5R series, such as the 3800mAh extended battery, the UV-5G is easy to integrate into your existing GMRS setup. It also works with the new six-way charger from Baofeng.

One of the standout features of the UV-5G is its built-in NOAA weather scanner. It automatically scans all 11 NOAA weather channels, keeping you informed of the latest severe weather reports and conditions. This makes it an ideal companion for outdoor activities like road trips, hunting, and backpacking, where safety and security are paramount.

The UV-5G is available in a convenient two-pack kit, providing you with a pair of these long-range, rechargeable walkie-talkies right out of the box. The package includes the radios, antennas, batteries, earphone mics, and all the necessary accessories to get you started.

If you're looking for a robust, feature-packed GMRS radio that can extend your communication range and keep you informed of the weather, the UV-5G is a great choice. Its classic design, compatibility with a wide range of accessories, and advanced functionality make it a versatile and reliable companion for all your outdoor adventures.
